[Commits Bug]: pkgcheck should compare to merge-base rather than origin

[mgorny]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• [x] I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

Running pkgcheck scan --commits check all packages changed compared to origin. When you have an unrebased branch, this means reporting results for packages that have changed in origin rather than your changes, which are entirely irrelevant and clutter the output.

Expected Behavior

I think it would be better to compare against merge-base between origin and the current branch.
